Thank you members, families and friends for all your help in making our 2013 Rose Show on May 25th a great success!

With hundreds of entries and hundreds of visitors, we heard the phrase "what beautiful roses!" exclaimed many times throughout the day.

Congratulations to all our winners for brightening our day with your wonderful, huge blooms.

This year several of our newer WJRS members successfully exhibited their roses and arrangements for the first time and we met several rose lovers who were inspired to join our society.

What a fun day! The memories of this Rose Show will keep us dreaming of magical blooms yet to come.

WJRS Rose Days 2013

Rose Days!

As part of our society’s charter, we love to share our joy and knowledge about roses. This spring, members of WJRS visited several of our local Good Sense garden centers for ”Rose  Days”€�. Despite some rain and hot weather, we had fun helping shoppers learn about roses and introducing our society to interested visitors.

Thank you to our enthusiastic members: Brenna Bosch, Sharon Davis, Judy Goss, June Hament, Bob and Marianne Lange, Laura Livingston, Anne Sacca, and Terry Palise.
